What is JustDecompile?

JustDecompile is a 100% Free standalone tool from Telerik (which does not require Visual Studio) for .NET assembly browsing and decompiling. It lets you take an existing compiled assembly (.dll or .exe) and easily browse the symbols it contains and then decompile that assembly language back to readable C#, VB and/or IL code.

Though JustDecompile is free, it is not open source. It is available from Telerik free-of-charge for unlimited no. of use in unlimited no. of machines.

JustDecompile recently joined up with Reflexil, the popular open source Assembly Editor plugin created by Sébastien Lebreton. Now .NET assemblies in JustDecompile can be directly manipulated and you can extend it to whatever you need from it very easily.

By using, the De4dot extension, you can now deobfuscate almost any obfuscated assembly and then decompile it using JustDecompile. To download it or see the full list of extensions, go to the JustDecompile extensions page.

Instructions for loading and unloading plugins into JustDecompile

Loading plugins: JustDecompile will load on startup all of the plugins it finds in the “Plugins” sub-folder of the installation root folder(the folder where the JustDecompile.exe resides). Each plugin needs to be placed in its own sub-folder of the "Plugins" folder. This will prevent file name collisions.

Unloading Plugins: To disable a particular plugin, it just needs to be removed from the “Plugins” sub-folder of the installation root folder.

Checking Current Status: There is a Plugin Manager in JustDecompile (Tools -> Plugins…) that lists all of the currently loaded plugins.
